The largest in Spain and one of the largest in Europe.<\/strong> The Old Town is considered to be everything that was located within the city walls. However, since it is so large, it is usually divided into other areas such as Santa Cruz, El Arenal, and Alameda-Macarena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For that reason, here I\u2019m going to focus on the historic center\u2014Seville\u2019s monumental and commercial district: the city\u2019s best-known area and also the most visited by tourists.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in most cities, it encompasses the area surrounding the cathedral, except that in this case we are referring to the complex of the Real Alc\u00e1zar, the Cathedral, and the Archivo de Indias<\/strong>, which were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. These monuments are located between the Virgen de los Reyes and Triunfo squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como en la mayor\u00eda de las ciudades, abarca los alrededores de la Catedral, s\u00f3lo que en este caso hablamos del conjunto Real Alc\u00e1zar, Catedral y Archivo de Indias,<\/strong> declarados como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 1987. Estos monumentos se localizan entre las plazas Virgen de los Reyes y Triunfo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entrance (or exit) to the historic center is the famous Puerta de Jerez<\/strong>, a beautiful square that still bears its name even though the actual gate no longer exists; from there, the route continues along Avenida de la Constituci\u00f3n<\/strong>, lined with regionalist-style buildings and with the Cathedral\u2019s facade on one side. You\u2019ll arrive at the beautiful La Adri\u00e1tica building<\/strong>, next to Town Hall<\/strong>, whose Plateresque facade faces Plaza de San Francisco<\/strong>, the heart of the city in the 16th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, you can take a leisurely stroll down the famous Calle Sierpes<\/strong>, lined with well-known brands, or wander down Calle Francos<\/strong>, known for its traditional shops. Don\u2019t miss Calle Cuna<\/strong>, with its Ciudad de Londres building and the Casa de la Condesa de Lebrija.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for squares, there are a lot of them, but the most famous ones are Plaza del Salvador<\/strong>\u2014where Sevillians enjoy their customary beer\u2014Plaza del Pan<\/strong>, Plaza de la Pescader\u00eda<\/strong> and Plaza de la Alfalfa<\/strong>, the latter teeming with tapas bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the area, you\u2019ll also come across La Campana<\/strong>, famous for its traditional pastry shop, and Las Setas<\/strong>, a true symbol of modern Seville that\u2019s a must-see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
